Service is operating normally: [RESOLVED] Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data

AWS·Jul 18, 2026

Between July 16 at 7:38 PM PDT and July 17 at 6:00 AM PDT, customers received erroneous budget and cost anomaly detection alerts, and saw inflated estimated cost and usage data in the Billing and Cost Management Console and the Cost and Usage Reports. These inaccurate billing estimates did not affect customer invoices. On July 16, 2026 at 7:46 PM PDT, our alarms detected cost anomalies but failed to halt the estimated bill generation process or alert our engineering teams. Our engineering team

We have identified the root cause and mitigated the underlying issue causing incorrect estimated cost and usage data to be displayed in the Billing and Cost Management Console, and Cost and Usage Reports.

We continue to work on multiple mitigation paths in parallel to resolve the issue affecting estimated cost and usage data displayed in the Billing and Cost Management Console, including the Cost and Usage Report.

We continue to work to resolve the issue affecting estimated cost and usage data displayed in the Billing and Cost Management Console. We are actively working on multiple mitigation paths in parallel. The first path involves reverting to the last known good estimated bill computation.

We continue to work to resolve the issue affecting estimated cost and usage data displayed in the Billing and Cost Management Console. As previously shared, we have identified the root cause as an issue with unit pricing within the estimated billing computation subsystem.
